Govenor Tim Pawlenty Hosts Town Hall On Facebook

Conservative Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty has announced that he will be hosting a Town Hall this evening via his Facebook Page, which currently has over 33,000 fans. This is part of a continued wave of “Facebook Politics” in which politicians use the massively popular site as a platform for engaging with constituents. While some more innovative political candidates, such as 27-year-old Patrick Kennedy, are turning to all social media platforms (including Foursquare), Facebook is becoming a central player in the future of digital politics.
